About Creative Cakes

Baking My Way Here

Where it all began...

Creative Cakes started in the most meaningful place… my kitchen! My kids cheering me on and asking for wild, imaginative cakes I wasn’t even sure I could pull off at first. What started as simple birthday treats slowly grew into a true creative outlet for me. Mixing colors, sculpting little characters, experimenting with flavors… it became more than just baking. It became my calm place, my joy, and the thing that let me show love through something sweet.


Over the last 7 years, that hobby turned into a passion I genuinely enjoy. Every cake, cupcake, and cake pop is made with intention, care, and a whole lot of heart.

    Cake Pops, Cake Pucks, and Cake Pop Squares

    My cake pops, pucks, and squares are crafted with the same love, detail, and creativity that go into my cakes. Every order is hand-made from start to finish, and each design tier reflects the amount of artistry, time, and materials needed to bring your idea to life. Whether you want something simple and elegant or fully themed and show-stopping, I offer flexible options and can always create something unique just for you!
